Canvas Penny Coat

Monday, February 2, 2015

These lattice prints are bright and modern. They would work well in coats, purses, and home decor to name a few things.

The coat pattern is the Penny Vintage Coat by Ellie Inspired as part of the Bundle Up sale. This coat has some fun details like the the rounded collar, belt, and belt loops. It is not a difficult sew, but it is one of those projects that takes a bit more time. I would recommend adding more than the 1/4" seam allowance for thicker fabrics. The pattern offers different options for several of the steps based on the level of sewing skills. For example, a beginner can choose to sew button loops for the closure. Then, you have more advanced options of standard button holes or bound button holes.

This coat is certainly a sweet vintage style, and I can see one in every color of the Vivid canvas!!
